AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Nevertheless, these polymer electrodes still have several drawbacks.
In particular, electroactive polymers such as polypyrroles and polythiophenes generally possess unsatisfactory durability, poor cyclability and low oxidation potential values.
Main drawback of these systems are their limited oxidation potential, their slow kinetic of electron transfer and their low capacities, partly related to the need of incorporating in the polymer electrode substantial amounts of carbon black (generally about 50% of the overall electrode material) for ensuring suitable electronic conductivities.
was used as cathode in a Li / polymer cell; nevertheless, cell voltage was found to reach 5.0 V immediately after charging started, failing thus to provide stable charge / discharge curves.
Nevertheless, there is currently a shortfall in the art for rechargeable lithium-ion cells having improved cyclability, high capacity and high voltage outputs in combination with lightweight and environmental friendliness.

Synthesis of 3,3′-dibromo-10H-methylphenothiazine III

[0142]

[0143]This compound was synthesized following procedures described in J-S. Kang, J-W. Park, J-H. Lee, S-Y. Oh / Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals 462, 2007, 267-276; M. Veld / Molecular Materials and Nanosystems, 2005.

[0144]To compound II (2.0 g; 9.4 mmol) in 50 mL DMF cold solution, three molar equivalent of N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) (1.7 g; 28 mmol) were added. The solution was maintained at 5 to 10° C. for one hour, then, at room temperature during 12 hours until starting material has been completely converted (checked by TLC using dichloromethane / pentane 1 / 5 as eluent). Then, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the solid residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel using dichloromethane / pentane 1 / 5 as eluent yielding to 3.3 g (yield 95%). The structure of compound III was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR, IR and elemental analysis.

[0150]

[0151]This compound was synthesized following procedures described in Y. S. Han, S. D. Kim, L. S. Park, D. U. Kim and Y. Kwon / Journal of Polymer Science Part A Polymer Chemistry 41, 2003, 2502-2511.

[0152]To compound I (5.0 g; 25 mmol) in 250 mL DMSO solution, 2.5 molar equivalents of potassium hydroxide (3.613 g; 64 mmol) were added. The solution was stirred at room temperature (R.T) for 30 min before the addition of 1.1 molar equivalent of 1-bromoethane (2.08 mL; 27 mmol). After refluxing for 24 hours, the solution was cooled to room temperature. The solution was poured into 300 mL of water, the obtained precipitate was filtered and extracted by dichloromethane (4×50 mL) in the presence of water (150 mL). The collected organic layer was dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. After purification by a silica gel column (eluent: pentane), the product was obtained as a light yellow ...

[0159]The synthesis of V was carried out following procedure of preparative example I-1).

[0160]To compound IV (2.27 g; 10.0 mmol) in 100 mL freshly distilled DMF solution maintained at 5° C., 2.1 molar equivalent of NBS (3.78 g; 21.0 mmol) in 50 mL of freshly distilled DMF were added dropwise over a period of one hour. Then, the mixture was stirred at R.T for 12 hours until the starting material was completely converted (checked by TLC using ethyl acetate / hexane—1 / 5 as eluent). Then, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by a silica gel column using ethyl acetate / hexane 1 / 5 as eluent yielding to 3.14 g (8.1 mmol; 81%). The structure of compound V was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR, IR and elemental analysis.
